Title from container. Includes booklet with liner notes by Jerry Beck. "Intended for the adult collector and may not be suitable for children"--Container. "Some of the cartoons you are about to see are a product of their time. They may depict some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that are commonplace in American society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. While the following does not represent the Warner Bros.' view of today's society, some of these cartoons are being presented as they were originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed"--Opening frames. Special features: commentaries on select shorts; music and music-and-effects tracks on select shorts. Voice characterization, Mel Blanc.
